"These British fellows are truly regressing!"
"So many warships, yet the pirates are gaining the upper hand!"
Salazar said, looking at the distant battlefield.
"That ship in the middle of the Navy fleet is The Jackdaw. Destroy it, and I will tell you Jack Sparrow's whereabouts."
The dreadlocked Black Witch said.
Since Jack and the others didn't go find her this time, Tia Dalma had no choice but to hitch a ride with Salazar.
"Such a large ship... and it's a pirate ship?" Salazar was once again shocked by these Navy descendants.
His Silent Mary was once a top-tier battleship, yet The Jackdaw was even larger.
But it didn't matter; to Salazar, all ships were the same regardless of size.
"Now, the ocean belongs to me!"
He let out a roar, and the Silent Mary immediately leaped into the water, while Tia Dalma was tossed onto a small boat.
Like its crew, the Silent Mary had undergone Undead Transformation. Its frame and the bottom two decks were almost completely destroyed, the cabin was tattered and leaky, the masts were all broken, and the sails were full of holes.
Yet none of this prevented it from sailing, and because the bottom of the ship was destroyed, the Silent Mary even developed a unique ultimate move—
"Boom!"
The Silent Mary broke through the surface of the water, capsizing a damaged warship, and then its hull began to expand.
"Kaka kaka!"
The Silent Mary's framework fully opened up, like a gaping maw, lunging straight toward The Jackdaw.
Ship Eater!
This was the Silent Mary's ultimate move: using its indestructible hull to crush and deform the enemy ship until it was completely destroyed.
"Salazar!"
Fang Yuan was also very surprised upon seeing this behemoth. Jack's compass was still in his hand, so how could this foul thing be released?
He quickly understood: it must have been the Witch causing trouble again.
Calypso wanted freedom too badly.
"If killing Tia Dalma wouldn't mean losing the whereabouts of Calypso's human form, I should be executing her by cannon fire right now."
With the giant maw bearing down, Fang Yuan still had the presence of mind to complain.
However, he also understood that killing Tia Dalma wouldn't be easy. This Ghost Witch had gone into hiding after Fang Yuan changed the plot and couldn't be found at all.
Jack couldn't do it either, as Jack's compass was enchanted by Tia Dalma.
At this moment, Fang Yuan could even see Salazar's grim smile aboard the Silent Mary.
But he wasn't flustered at all. The Jackdaw moved without wind, rammed aside the warship blocking its path, and then the entire ship floated up, narrowly dodging the Silent Mary's hunt.
"Fooled you, huh? Grandpa can fly!" Fang Yuan shouted at Salazar. "Old relic, stop meddling in the wars of the young!"
"What's that saying?" Fang Yuan thought for a moment, then immediately remembered what to say: "The New World has no ship to carry you!"
Salazar's face immediately darkened, feeling that this person was almost as annoying as Jack Sparrow.
As a Navy Captain, being defeated by Jack's schemes was a disgrace.
And the fact that he, in the prime of his life, was sealed beneath the sea in the Devils Triangle, slowly transforming into an inhuman Undead, was pure hatred.
He originally had a great life to enjoy, but now he had become this ghostly appearance.
Thus, Fang Yuan's simple phrase "old relic" immediately triggered Salazar.
"I must... kill you!"
Salazar roared, controlling the Silent Mary to tilt its hull upward, and immediately opened fire.
"Bang bang bang!"
Cannonballs smashed into the bottom of The Jackdaw, sending wood chips flying. The Jackdaw was sturdy enough, otherwise, the hull might have been pierced.
Fang Yuan felt distressed watching this. The Jackdaw did not have self-repair capabilities—that was a special divine authority granted by the ocean. He quickly instructed the crew to throw powder kegs below to impede the Silent Mary's attack.
At the same time, he maneuvered The Jackdaw to accelerate and fly higher. Cannons of this era had a range of no more than three digits. Even if the Silent Mary was enchanted, it still had to obey gravity. After Fang Yuan flew hundreds of meters into the sky, even with the Silent Mary's hull raised to its maximum angle, it could no longer hit The Jackdaw.
"Old relic, do you know what an Helicarrier is?" Fang Yuan mocked Salazar with the laughter of a new era.
To ensure Salazar could hear, Fang Yuan even specifically used a Witchcraft Item to amplify his voice.
"Start bombing!" Fang Yuan continued to command his subordinates.
Air superiority is crucial regardless of the time, which is why Fang Yuan specifically prepared a large number of powder kegs on The Jackdaw.
Of course, at this height of a hundred meters, even throwing iron balls barehanded would cause considerable damage.
Consequently, the Navy suffered. The Jackdaw's Undead crew members were running rampant, and they also had to defend against The Jackdaw's bombing, forcing them to scatter.
Tia Dalma gestured wildly on the small boat for a long time, trying to lift the curse of the Aztec Gold, but after much effort, she could only stamp her foot in frustration.
She had not yet recovered her power as the Sea Goddess and was completely unable to lift the curse from Fang Yuan's crew.
Salazar was naturally furious, but Fang Yuan had flown into the sky, leaving Salazar completely helpless. Left with no choice, Salazar stood where he was, faced the sea, and decisively began talking to himself.
"I know you can hear me."
"Hand over Jack Sparrow and Fang Yuan to me, and I will help you break the seal!"
Tia Dalma, far away, naturally heard this. She immediately smiled faintly: "No problem!"
Once she broke the seal and regained her divine power, she would naturally be able to deal with The Jackdaw.
Thus, Salazar led the Silent Mary directly into the water, surfaced after targeting a pirate ship, and once again opened its massive maw.
"Ahhh!"
"Crunch! Crackle!"
After a sound that set teeth on edge, accompanied by the screams of the pirates, the pirate ship was immediately torn into pieces, causing a look of satisfaction to reappear on Salazar's face.
He simply loved hearing the screams of pirates; they were incredibly pleasant. He spent his time in the boundless, dark seal of the Devils Triangle relying on the memory of these wonderful sounds and scenes.
Davy Jones was no less impressive; The Flying Dutchman, with its upgraded gunports, was shining brightly, utterly routing the pirates. Fang Yuan clearly noticed from high up that Sao Feng's fleet subtly tended toward retreating from the battle.
As soon as the Silent Mary turned to attack the pirates, Fang Yuan guessed their intention.
Capturing all the Pirate Kings would also allow them to unseal Calypso.
Fortunately, Tia Dalma didn't know that he had flown into the sky carrying Jack's token.
But in terms of the battle situation, the Navy side already held the advantage.
Because warships were fundamentally much stronger than pirate ships. Although The Jackdaw, the MVP of the entire field, was bombing relentlessly, The Jackdaw's efficiency was greatly reduced once the warships scattered.
Many of the Undead crew members were knocked into the water, making it difficult for them to reboard. Although they couldn't die, their combat effectiveness was greatly diminished.
Of course, the main reason was that after the Silent Mary entered the battle, its reckless Ship Eater behavior gave the pirates an unparalleled shock, and their morale immediately plummeted.
Fang Yuan's Black Emperor Pirates were doing relatively well. Although they charged at the front, they had The Jackdaw providing cover, and Navy Commander Norrington was an ally, so their losses were the smallest. Other pirates were not so lucky.
Seeing that the Pirate Kings might shout "Run for your lives!" at any moment, Fang Yuan quickly pondered a countermeasure.
Should they fight to the end or retreat first?
Fang Yuan glanced at his Reputation value.
[Reputation: 136]
"Should we just leave it at this for now?"
"But if we retreat this time, the Pirate Kings will definitely run as far as possible next time, and it will be difficult to create such a grand momentum again."
While Fang Yuan was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a small black dot appearing on the distant sea surface.
He immediately abandoned the idea of waiting until next time.
His backup had arrived!
"Haha, we arrived just in time!" Jack Sparrow said smugly, standing atop the mast. "It's time to let the Navy witness the power of pirates!"
He then gulped down several mouthfuls of Rum, muttering under his breath, "If we can't win, we just run."
That's right, the arriving ship was the Black Pearl!
If it were just the Black Pearl, it certainly wouldn't be enough, but Old Turner, standing on the deck, was tightly gripping a verdant green trident.
Compared to the conventional definition of a trident, this one had a somewhat wicked shape. The three prongs were vertical, looking a bit like crab pincers, and in the middle of the three prongs was a mass of golden substance that, at first glance, resembled an eye.
This was the trident of poseidon, and it was Fang Yuan's planned reliance for dealing with Tia Dalma.
He quickly maneuvered The Jackdaw toward the Black Pearl's direction, and at that moment, Tia Dalma also spotted Jack and his group.
Her intuition told her that there was something terrifying aboard the Black Pearl.
"Destroy the Black Pearl!" She quickly sent a message to Davy Jones and Salazar.
"Jack Sparrow is on the Black Pearl!" she specifically added for Salazar.
Davy Jones naturally obeyed his Goddess, and Salazar, hearing that Jack had arrived, became incredibly excited. He rushed over immediately with the Silent Mary, ramming straight through any warships in his path.
Jack Sparrow was enjoying the sight of the great battle when he suddenly spotted these two strange ships.
He certainly recognized The Flying Dutchman and wasn't surprised by it, but the other ship was somewhat unfamiliar... Wait!
Jack's eyes instantly widened, because although the Silent Mary looked like a ruin, its general outline was still intact, strongly resembling a ship he once feared immensely.
"Salazar?"
Jack quickly climbed down the mast and hurriedly ordered the crew: "Quick, turn around!"
Although Salazar was a figure from many years ago, he was someone Jack feared greatly.
After all, he was just a young lad back then, chased by such a top-tier warship. The psychological trauma this inflicted on Jack was lifelong; even Batman would struggle to calculate the area of his psychological shadow.
"No way!" Old Turner decisively refused. "The trident must be delivered into the hands of Black King!"
And Gibbs, the first mate on the Black Pearl, also seriously observed the situation. Seeing the two monsters, The Flying Dutchman and the Silent Mary, charging towards them, he nodded: "How about we slip away?"
"Boom!"
Old Turner drew a line on the sea surface with the trident, and a wave surged up, pushing the Black Pearl straight forward.
"Advance toward The Jackdaw!" he said coldly.
